Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Australia: Muslim migrant nursing student accused of swearing loyalty to the Islamic State
Friday, June 29, 2018
Jihad Watch : “She is of Somali origin, but we’re not targeting race. We’re
targeting ideologies (and) we’re targeting criminality,” said Assistant
Commissioner Ian McCartney from Australian Federal Police.
Good. Because this isn’t about race. But it is about an ideology that you, sir, don’t dare to name or study in depth. “Nursing student accused of being ISIS member named after court order lifted,” by Ben Avery, 9 News, June 27, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
The identity of a young Adelaide woman, accused of being
South Australia’s first member of terror group Islamic State (ISIS), can
be revealed for the first time. Zainab Abdirahaman-Khalif, 23, who moved to Australia from Somalia
when she was 14, is accused of pledging her allegiance to the terror
group online.
The nursing student was arrested at the Port Adelaide TAFE campus by
Australian Federal Police in May last year, but a court-imposed secrecy
order had prevented publication of her name and image until now.
Ms Abdirahaman-Khalif is accused of singing ISIS propaganda songs at her home and swearing her loyalty to the group online. At the time of the arrest, Assistant Commissioner Ian McCartney from
Australian Federal Police said “there was online activity in terms of
her engaging with … (terror) suspects around the world.”
“She is of Somali origin, but we’re not targeting race. We’re targeting ideologies (and) we’re targeting criminality,” he said….
